Description

A comforting, cheesy, Tex-Mex inspired casserole that combines shredded chicken, black beans, corn, tortilla chips, and melted cheese into one easy, flavorful dump-and-bake dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet (2 tbsp) taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and sour cream.
  3. Layer half of the crushed tortilla chips on the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Pour half of the chicken mixture over the chips, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  5. Repeat with remaining chips, chicken mixture, and cheese on top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melt and flavor.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving to set the layers.
  • Feel free to add hot sauce for a spicy twist.
